Storyline

In the early years of the Republic of China, the corrupt Qing government has been overthrown by revolution, yet ignorance and superstition still prevail. In Blackwater Town, a strange event occurs at the Chen family mansion: Li Xiangling, the fourth concubine of Chen Facai, dies mysteriously. On the night of her death, her maid Xiaolan suddenly begins to sing, performing the same tunes and with the same gestures as Li Xiangling. Rumors spread that Xiaolan is possessed by Li Xiangling's ghost, and eerie occurrences plague the mansion. Young detective Wang Zhizhang scoffs at tales of the supernatural and believes someone is behind the strange events. He has been investigating several missing persons cases connected to the Chen mansion. To uncover its secrets, Wang disguises himself as a Taoist priest, exploiting Chen Facai's superstition, and infiltrates the household. Inside, he finds an oppressive atmosphere: the master is strict and cruel to servants, who live without dignity. Everyone seems to harbor dark secrets, and all obey the rule that no one may approach the ancestral hall—yet Li Xiangling had entered it before her death. Wang becomes increasingly convinced that the ancestral hall holds the key to the mystery.
